In reply to I don't get this » Dr. Bob, posted by Anyuser on October 1, 2002, at 13:18:01
Just a general comment. I hesitated to even ask the question I did because I put myself in Dr. Bob's shoes and thought how every time he explains something, there is always a price to pay. He gets disagreement heaped on him, criticism for his actions, lectures, insults, questions and more questions on every detail of each step he took. I wondered if I was in his position, if I would be up for the sh*t storm a response (*any* response) would be bound to create.
The down side of that behavior on our part, of course, is that we stop getting info about his decisions, which he is under no obligation to provide anyway. I'm not sure what the up side is.
I'm not telling anybody what to write or not to write, or how to write it, and certainly Dr. Bob is an adult and can make his own decisions about how he will deal with things. I just hate that asking a simple question, and getting a reasonable answer will likely result in negative chaos.
This is my opinion only, and is not a discourse on both sides (or all sides, because I'm sure there are more than two) of the issue. Thus, I can say with certainty in advance that attacking me for my opinion, or for failing to mention all the opinions that exist, won't accomplish anything. I am not speaking for anyone else, just myself.
